March Gun Porn: Custom Ruger 10/22s

Let's get to the gun porn....This first one is from Ruger...this is the 5 millionth 10/22 built. Ruger had the receiver and butt plate nickel plated and had the gun engraved. A custom walnut stock and gold accents finished it off.

This one was built by a guy on the Rimfire Central Forum who goes by the name Hipshot. It is a modern version of a Mannlicher target rifle

Another one from Hipshot

Another one found on the Rimfire Central Forum, this guy polished or chromed every piece of metal. The stock is also very unique.

Not sure of the legality of the forward grip...but it sure is interesting

Another build that was chronicled on the Rimfire Central Forums is this retro looking 10/22 using a home built brass receiver, a brass butt plate and fore end tip and a beautiful Maple Mannlicher style stock.

This is a Mannlicher inspired stock made from Cherry wood, the 22" stainless barrel sports brass sights from Skinner and KNS. See more here

I am guessing the owner of this gun owns a body shop?

A 10/22 race gun....

A unique mix of blue steel and wood on this bull pup

A 10/22 Magnum built on a stainless steel Volquartsen receiver, set in a nice walnut stock with engraving.

another tactical charger

Everything about this gun is different, including the swirl paint job

Here is an interesting stock

Here is a take-down model built into a "Scout" configuration with the scope mounted forward of the action.

This custom built 10/22 was built exclusively with KIDD parts, The stock is custom air-brush painted. I found it on the Rimfire Central forum

Another sweet looking Charger....

What appears to be high polished blued steel, on the rifle below, is actually automotive paint. The stock is a beauty as well, a very elegant looking rifle in all respects. I might like to build one like this only with a steel receiver and high polish bluing instead of paint.

You had to figure someone would do this to a 10/22...painted in the Van Halen Frankenstrat motif...but where are the scratches from being dropped on stage? The worn edges? The cigarette burns? The character?

Another masterpiece from a Rimfire Central forum member, see the build details here

A custom Charger

How about this odd looking bull pup, the trigger is electronically operated.

This custom 10/22 features a wavy fluted barrel, custom receiver and a very nicely figured Monte Carlo walnut stock...

There really is no limit to what you can do in terms of look, money or performance. Here is another custom tack driver..

Another SBR 10/22 this one with integral suppressor

An odd mix of old and new styles, octagon barrel (ported) with billet receiver & trigger group mounted to a laminated stock

Another bullpup, this one built on an aluminum stock and uses an electronic triggering system, it is from the folks at Electronic Arms

Of course we can't leave out the dual 10/22 Gatling Gun....several companies make versions of this. One rotation of the crank handle sends 4 bullets down range....
